Ed (and others), Right on! Sketchpad (version 4) is a wonder - and so is the "automatic" JavaSketchpad. May I ask you to visit http://faculty.evansville.edu/ck6/GIAJSP/ . The interactive action-sketches show some things that can be done with the Version 4 JavaSketchpad much more readily than with Version 3. This is a new site, so there are bound to be things to be improved. Ed, if you or others visit the site and see errors or other opportunities for improvement, please let me know (ck6@evansville.edu). (The site cited above, called "G.I.A. Java Gallery", is associated with a book, Geometry in Action, released this month from Key College Publishing.)

This project would be part of an effort to create an on line web site whose purpose would be to introduce members of the general public to some of the fascination connected with the subject of mathematics. There is already a great deal of this sort of material scattered around on the internet. After many hours of surfing I found a few examples which may give an idea of what I have in mind.

The first thing he should pick up is Geometer's Sketchpad. It's pretty effortless to go from a geometric construction, as in the triangle to square dissection, to a fully functional java applet. Really, it's just draw and save an applet. Geometry in Motion has examples: http://www15.addr.com/~dscher/ There are many good math sites out there. He should look at all the sites presented as columns at http://maa.org/news/columns.html . My site, mathworld.com, and Erich Friedman's site all have much more, especially in the way of links to much more. --Ed Pegg Jr. _______________________________________________ math-fun mailing list math-fun@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/math-fun
